> An exception is  raised by log4cxx when a very large message is logged  using the SyslogAppender/SyslogWriter   (other appenders/writers appear to "work" perfectly with large messages).
> The exception occurs if  the message in question is  too large to fit inside a UDP packet (the syslog protocol uses UDP).
> It would be better to split big messages up before sending them over the syslog protocol as per this similar log4j issue/fix -  https://issues.apache.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=42087  -  rather than forcing log4cxx clients to  restructure their  program logic in order to avoid (or recover from) from this kind of rare logging exception.
